    The suckage will be strong with this one.

    Esperson takes a special type of tenant. It has really weird floor plates that are pretty narrow - as in, if you're not taking down an entire floor or at least from the elevators over to the end wall there's no room for a private hallway, particularly in the Niels. In other words, the public hallway is less than 15 feet from the glass.

    but... Tradition!!!

    gene, some of us consider the absence of cell phone video from that era a feature rather than a bug...

    It is over a parking garage, so the arborial options are limited.

    In fairness, there are three distressed people either running or walking quickly away from the incipient interspecies carnage - and several more behind them whose speed I can't judge

    Post industrial chic?

    He's very tall. Nope. He just got mugged and thrown down the slope by the smiling couple.

    Perhaps their fee fees are all hurt 'cause someone told them to get off the lawn...

    The actual reason the 600 Louisiana observation lobby closed to the public is because the tour buses began bringing tourists in, disrupting the businesses on that floor.

    Pictures or it didn't happen Edit: It's now set for midday tomorrow (Sunday). nola.com will have a live feed.

    There are people walking around on the roof inspecting things this afternoon, and Main and Walker are still blocked off.

    It's very difficult to generalize, since each flood event is different. For example, at my house in Woodland Heights we got water all the way up to the front steps during Allison (how it didn't get into the garage remains a mystery); during Harvey it only came halfway up the front yard, but it came up and went down twice. According to very old neighbors Allison had more flooding in our neighborhood than during the mega floods of the 1930s.

    Was anyone else getting this stuck in their head:

    I get where you're coming from, but the fire is in the building housing a different bodega, the Main Street Market, a few blocks north. It, too was slipcovered.

    Thanks for digging that back up, Avossos. Comparing them side by side, it looks like the slip cover may not have destroyed everything since it's roughly the same height as the original roof decoration. Now let's just hope that the fire doesn't.

    Dang, missed the kolaches. And "TC Energy Center" sounds like a basketball arena somewhere or another. they just need to get off my lawn... grumble...

    And just yesterday we were linked to its former deco glory... it's going to be interesting seeing what the next act is for this one.

    H-Town, fair point. However, turning the bottom few floors into something that doesn't even try to coordinate with the rest of the building is right up there with the aluminum skins that were a "modernization" fad in the 60s. Changing the usage (and even the massing) doesn't have to mean ditching the basic design concept.

    Incidentally, this is what's wrong with the idea of changing the bottom two floors of Two Shell, Houston Center, etc., to meet our current tastes. There will come a time when 80s style will be considered chic again. (***shudder...***)

    If they really wanted to be ambitious, they'd include some wildlife in the renders...

    And to think we whinge about a project that only takes two or three times longer than it should...

    NoDoz - the neighborhood that never sleeps. Catchy.

    I get it - but I make my living writing stuff that my clients and I hope is not ridiculous, hence my barely restrained obsession regarding grammar that affects my daily life. I even have a "grammar" folder in my browser toolbars, an effective collection of links that includes Common Errors in English Usage. Meanwhile, back on topic: Photos from before the 1960s remuddling appear to have a second (and perhaps even a third) feature similar to the one at the southwest corner. Does anyone know if they're going to be recreated to match what we see in all the renderings of the Main / Wheeler corner? (I may not have dug back far enough in this thread)
